Perfect Skin

They said in the movie, that Katia comes from Poland (not Romania like it's been described). Only Katia is a Russian name... In Poland is Katarzyna, which is called Kasia

**NON-SPOILER** Predictable film, called most of the shots prior to them happening. It's a bit obsessive and the acting is decent. It was just very predictable, it needed a further twist.

From an artists point of view it's a really good movie, i really appreciated what i was seeing. If you can relate you will love it. Fans of tattoos will be satisfied !!

The story is a dark character study on an artist's obsessed nature as his desire to create a masterpiece of body art on the perfect skin, and the manifestation of truly sinister actions he takes. It is all done with an almost breathless calm as a psychological drama destorts into something almost akin to bondage *. Of course Chicken never steps into such exploitational domain. He manages a hypnotic, intimate thriller that gingerly blurs the lines between body modification art and horror. The casting is perfection. The characters are strong, recognizable people we can all relate to, and who doesn't know "that" tattoo guy. Which makes the film more personable and terrifying. The direction that Chicken takes, going for more, subtle-suggestive expressions of horror, while still crsating a chilling story is beyond impressive for a directorial debut. "Perfect Skin" isn't your standard full-throttle psycho killer film. It stays more subdued as it creates a gradual tension. Most of the film's setting hangs closer to late 2000's exploitation/torture motif, never letting you forget that this is a horror movie. Plus, what gore is onscreen is enough to garner approval from any visceral driven horror fan. Overall I really liked "Perfect Skin". This isn't usually my subgenre, but the story, and characters are so real any one from ripped-from-the-headlines thriller fans to giallo inspired hardcore fans can get into it. Add to that some great cinematography and sweet music score and "Perfect Skin" is one to watch. My only negative would be that I didn't care for the ending- the last few frames.

I really wish Richard Brake did more roles he's amazing! The music in this is trancelike which is really cool! I understand why people said Perfect Skin is boring but it's fairly enjoyable and menacing. Not your average horror movie, it's got a bit of depth to it.

Katia is not Romanian but come from Poland You are ignorant Grettings from Poland

Hard to understand how this boring piece of film managed to get any good reviews. Complete waste of time, maybe tattoo enthusiasts like it for the tats but the story was nonexistent, characters had zero background, acting was ok i guess but this is neither a thriller nor horror nor interesting at all. My g/f made me watch till the end, at least i had some quiet time to read stuff on my phone. I did pay attention but really regret it now. The end was really generic too, you can't even say the script was predictable as there isn't anything happening you could predict. Yes it's that bland.

Fantastic film with an amazing performance by Richard Brake. Beautifully crafted, with a dark twisted heart by director Kevin Chicken. This is a dark and beautiful film and a must see film for genre fans.

Very intense after the first 20 minutes. Richard Brake is a man of genius. Perfect vision, rhytm and music. The Polish girl is an exellent actress. Very original idea. High class cinema, British quality. Deep, clever and psychologically motivated.
